I take it you are making it a 976 like the image ? because i have a good picture of your loader which is a 966,i will use the 966,checked with the mf 900 loader brochure and you can have a 966 with the 6840,also you could have the 968 and the 976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 sorry for all these posts in the conversion topic,as they are not really conversions,but we dont have an add extra detail topic,anyway,thought this would be a 2 minute job,but had to take off the wheels and cab,as the numberplate holder is behind the cab canvas,anyway all done,numberplate added,this 240 is a cracker of a model,and nothing to do to it apart from the numberplate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
